Mental illness, on the other hand does not exist. If a person is crazy, it is not because of some imbalance of chemicals in the brain. It is because the person has either convinced himself he is insane or because he has become insane due to built up anger, depression, or anxiety.
I am one of the people who became insane after letting my anger and depression build up for about 16 years.
You see, I was once sane. But a man can only take so much bullshit before he explodes. So what happens if you don't explode? Well, my friends....
.....you lose your mind.
I have been "diagnosed" as Bipolar I Maj Depressed w/ Psychotic Features Including Moderate Schizophrenia and Level 3 Personality Disorder.
In English, I suffer from incredibly random changes in mood, major depression, visual and auditory hallucinations, periodic displacements from reality, blackouts, and anxiety attacks.
Now these "symptoms" are very real. But they are only present because I have allowed myself to believe they are there.
Confused yet?
Me too.
